‘DEADPOOL’ Won’t Be Getting A Director’s Cut

Rumours of a ‘Deadpool’ director’s cut have been refuted by Tim Miller.

Claims had been made, notably from actor TJ Miller, that an even more extreme version of the R-rated Marvel comic book adaptation would be made available once the film hits DVD.

However, Miller – the FX artist turned director, who made his debut on the long-awaited super (anti-) hero movie – says he’s happy with the cut that is now in theaters, although the edited footage will still be seen in the DVD extras.

Miller told Collider, “

“I don’t wanna be all Joss Whedon on you, but no there’s not [a director’s cut]… There are some deleted scenes that have some extra stuff, but I’m pretty happy with this cut. I like it.”

Miller says a lot of the film’s more violent and/or offensive content was trimmed at the behest of producer Simon Kinberg (one of the key players in 20th Century Fox’s Marvel universe movies).

“I had a little more workshop fight in there that I liked—that’s the beat that we were talking about,

Something for fans to look forward to once ‘Deadpool’ reaches DVD, then – but right now all eyes are on its performance at the box office, where the non-family friendly movie is outstripping expectations, having made $140 million from its opening weekend alone.
